Answer to Question 1

In the United States most Indian Americans live in nuclear families, and strains in the traditional structure often occur. Asian Indian women are more likely to work in America than in their homeland, yet they lack the support system of an extended family. Elders may also find themselves cut off from their traditional role of advisers and may not have opportunities for involvement in certain religious activities that would fill their lives in India. Some Asian Indians, especially women raised in India, find it difficult to adjust to these changes.

Children who grow up in the United States usually insist on making their own career choices. Dating has become more acceptable, but some parents strongly discourage relationships with persons of other ethnic or religious backgrounds. Though most parents do not choose their child's spouse, many Asian Indian children still defer to their parents' opinions; young male students in the United States sometimes ask their families in India to find suitable wives for them.
